Cloudlands

Description

Anne Elliott is the owner of Cloudlands, a property located in Katoomba, NSW. The property is a dedicated wildlife sanctuary and a former writer's retreat offering eco-friendly accommodation. It is Anne's intent for it to continue to be used for the benefit of the local environment, with Anne installing forty-two solar panels to generate solar energy for the property.

Cloudlands covers 0.4 hectares of natural bushland on an escarpment and adjoins the Blue Mountains National Park with vegetation dominated by eucalypt forest. Wildlife known to inhabit the area include bowerbirds (Ptilonorhynchus spp.), superb lyrebirds (Menura novaehollandiae), Australian king parrots (Alisterus scapularis) and a variety of other birdlife.

About Us

In 2007 Humane Society International launched the Wildlife Land Trust (WLT) Australia in an effort to preserve and protect our vital native habitats and the animals that depend on them, in a network of sanctuaries both throughout the country and internationally.

Working under the guiding principle of "humane stewardship", the WLT protects not only vast and impressive landscapes but also the smaller, humbler places that provide for the needs of all wildlife, rare and common species alike.
